Durham Cathedral Festival of Remembrance
The Road to Victory
Over sixteen years, the Durham Cathedral Festival of Remembrance has established itself as the iconic Remembrance event in the North East. Set within the historic sanctitude of Durham Cathedral, it commemorates the sacrifices of many in conflict over the years.
This moving concert, in aid of the Army Benevolent Fund, remembers those who have given their lives for their Country, and Service Personnel who put their lives at risk for our liberty today.
The main theme of this year’s Festival of Remembrance are the 80th anniversaries of Victory in Europe (VE) and Victory over Japan (VJ), as we commemorate those who gave so much in the liberation of Europe and the Far East 80 years ago.
The story of the Road to Victory will be told through an emotional mix of music and spoken word. The Festival of Remembrance culminates with the poignant Muster and Act of Remembrance, with thousands of poppies falling silently from the Cathedral’s central tower.
Narrated for the fourth year by North East TV icon, Pam Royle, and with performances from the Band of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, Enter CIC, the Military WAGS Choir Catterick, the Tyne Electrical Engineers Association Pipe Band, and talented soprano Charlotte Potter, the Festival of Remembrance offers a powerful moment to pause, reflect, and honour, those who gave everything.
